This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Pugh, Brawley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FCC.2ACE/1738.1.1 Message Board Post: Shannon-- I believe our Peter Pughs are related--uncle or first cousins. On the 1850 Hancock Co,Vg census, Hugh & Nancy Pugh are living with their sons, Peter (yours, I suspect), Alex, John, Hiraim and David & Ada Gordon (Nancy's parents???). It is David Gordon who went to Meigs Co, Ohio after Peter died, was executor of his estate & brought peter's widow, Sarah, and her children back to Hancock Co. In 1850 Sarah is living next door to David (43yo) son of Peter Pugh and a Hugh son of Aaron Pugh. In 1855 Sarah Pugh's, dau, Adah (my grgrmo), marries Alexander Brawley in Berlin Cross Roads, Wellstown, Jackson Co, Ohio--this is the only reference I have to Jackson co, Ohio. The Brawleys settle in Ironton, Ohio. Have you looked at any land records? They can be a great help. Keep me posted--perhaps we can unravel a small part of these Pughs!! Molly
